Oxford Language Dictionaries

Need a translation you can rely on? Check out the Oxford Language Dictionaries Online (OLDO) for bilingual English translation dictionaries in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.

The dictionaries are fully searchable and contain study materials designed to help your language learning. Highlights include:

Current translations, provided with contextual clues and examples
An advanced search that lets you limit to parts of speech, subject area, and language register
An alphabetical browse
Explanations of phonetic symbols and parts of speech
Useful phrases, language histories, and other contextual information
A helpful “did you mean?” feature for when your searches lack exact matches
Print, email, and other functions for exporting and sharing information

The OLDO was described by CHOICE magazine as “the most exciting electronic language dictionary service since the debut of the online Oxford English Dictionary.” It is accessible via Primo and the Online Reference Shelf under “Dictionaries / Thesauri / Glossaries.”
